Olympics:
Flora Duffy of Team Bermuda celebrates winning the gold medal during the Women’s Individual Triathlon on day four of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at Odaiba Marine Park on July 27, 2021 in Tokyo, Japan.
Bermuda’s Flora Duffy dominated the run portion of the women’s triathlon to win Olympic gold on a wet and humid morning at Odaiba Marine Park.
The gruelling race, which involves a 1.5km swim, 40km bike ride and 10km run,
saw a group of five – including Duffy, Taylor-Brown and Zaferes – pull away during the bike ride to leave the chasing group fighting for the non-medal positions.
Injury:
The concern was diagnosed as two cysts that were applying pressure and causing the pain. Meanwhile, an MRI suggested that her recovery period will be quick.
She posted on Instagram: “The first 14 days following Arzachena WC were really solid, felt great and started to get excited for the PTO Champs in December.

However, Duffy made up some ground on the bike, finishing the 36.2-kilometre route in 1hr 1min 6sec to find herself behind the leading trio of Maya Kingma, Jessica Learmonth and Sophie Coldwell heading into the 10km run.
